- Radler made it a 3-0 margin with 4:21 left in the third before opening the fourth quarter with her seventh goal of the year for the hat trick. Junior Paige Forester (Glencoe, Ill.) picked up the assist on the goal as she dribbled the ball into the circle and found Radler at the post for the 4-0 lead.
 
- Forester found the net with 8:49 remaining for her league-leading 18th goal of the season as the Engineers converted on a penalty corner opportunity. Moments later, first-year Eva Oppenheim (Larkspur, Calif.) closed out the scoring with her third goal of the year off a pass from Forester for the 6-0 final.
